The Holistic PCOS Chick

Ughhh...The sickies have made it to our home!  All I want to do is run for cover or put on a gas mask and pray no one coughs, wipes their nose on me or sneezes in my face! Haahhaaa! Such wishful thinking for mommy of three! There's not even the slightest chance I won't at least get sneezed on or have someone wiping their buggers on my shirt. Hey! That’s life when you have little kids. And expecting to have beautiful tops that don’t look like condors eliminated all over them is everyone woman’s dream, but not necessarily a reality! Oh, and how I’d love to wear beautiful clothing on a regular basis. But for now, I’ll settle for my t-shirts, yoga pants and the occasional dress up moment for a special outing. Fancy clothing will have to wait for this Momma, because I don’t get a lot of time to mess around with being ultra-stylish. When I do stop to try and sort out my outfits, do my hair or brush my teeth… is usually the time my toddler or the 5 yr old start going through my ...

Of course since Kloe is little she has no problem being bright and shiny  first thing in the a.m. even with waking up in the middle of the night... I'm sure you Moms feel my pain ... but this Momma needs a little extra boost to get going after waking up. Especially after doing taxes last night! That will definitely suck the life right out of a person! I totally feel crosseyed today and could care less if I ever see another number again!! That's why I'm super grateful for Shakeology! It's complete changed how I function first thing in the morning. It's super easy on my sensitive digestive system and it provides me with a steady flow of energy all day without over stimulating my body or causing me to crash. Not to mention it wakes me up and keeps me going with a spunky toddler all day. I ❤ it! #MyShakeologyStory #GoldenScoop #Sweepstakes #tbbcoach411

Iron is something a lot of people just can't seem to keep a handle on. Personally I struggle with low iron, and I know many women who's low iron takes it to an all new level of low. NOT GOOD! Being tired is hard enough by itself, but if you struggle excessively low iron you can have all sorts of awful symptoms. For example: Feeling weak and tired out easily. Dizziness. Grumpy or cranky. Headaches Looking very pale. Feeling short of breath. Trouble concentrating. These are just a few symptoms listed. Typically after being diagnosed with anemia the Doctor will prescribed an iron supplement. I don't know about you, but these cause me to get severely constipated. Which just makes everything worse! After all we need to be able to assimilate our supplements, so being constipated makes this even more difficult. I have had better luck with using iron rich foods. Not only do the foods make me feel better, but they are much more easily digested. Another things tha...

I know in my previous blog I was going to walk and do yoga. But I just have not been able to get out of the house, since it has been super HOT and HUMID here in Tennessee! The baby gets really hot and sweaty in her stroller, and if I go out at night we get eaten alive by mosquitoes. YIKES! I have been chomping at the bit to try Lem Mills Combat, so I decided to DO IT!! I figure I can modify as necessary and slow things down, so that I don't compromise my milk supply (still breastfeeding). It will be interesting to see what happens. Day 1... I put disk #1 in to find out it was unreadable!! Grrrr... I called Coach Relations and their service is always great!! Whenever you buy straight from Beachbody they back everything, so I am getting my disk replaced for FREE!! In the mean time I am using some other disks that came in the set. I went ahead and started with Combat Live 30. I enjoyed it, and it was easy to modify so that I didn't over due it. Can't get too crazy or I wil...

Since starting on my pregnancy journey 3 1/2 months ago, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs physically. With my first pregnancy I was tired, however I never really had any negative issues with food.  This time around (although I am thankful for not being so physically ill that I had to throw up) I have experienced NON- STOP NASEAU!! YUCK!! Which for someone who's like me and like to eat has been difficult to deal with.  The first trimester I could not find anything to really settle my stomach. I tried all food, good and bad and nothing seemed to help. I was beginning to wonder if this would go on through the duration of my pregnancy, but thankfully as I entered the 2nd trimester I have been blessed with a new settled tummy!! Yay!! Now that I am in the 2nd trimester, not only is my tummy feeling better, but now I have more energy as well!! I am so happy to be able to workout again! Although I am not really interested in doing the harder workouts I once did pre-preg...

Since becoming pregnant a few months ago, it seems my world has been turned up side down. My expectations of myself have had to change, as my energy levels have been all over the place, and the nausea is horrible. I can't seem to get a grip on food at the moment. I will get a craving, eat it and then be very let down to find that I really didn't want what I thought I did. Sigh... For someone who was in a good place with food before the pregnancy, this has been difficult to deal with. Nothing seems to make me feel better. BLAH!! My last pregnancy was 10 years ago. Although I struggled with energy levels during that pregnancy, it was not quite this bad and I really never was sick in my stomach at all. So this experience is a whole new ball of wax for me. As a fitness Coach this has made my life a little bit more difficult. As I want to remain a good example of health, fitness and nutrition for the people I work with. I am just starting to get a handle on all the changes that ...
